As soon as it happened, I told my partner "I'm sure the curmudgeons on Vital are losing their shit" and you definitely didn't let me down, morons!

I blame Elon. I think I remember them saying they use Starlink for the broadcast. 

Edit: maybe I dreamed it, but I remember Weege explaining that the Starlink went down right after the shortened moto at High Point.

We need a Vince Freise, Weston Peick(so), or Bob Hannah. At least someone to either wreck, wreck the leaders battling with them, or win ugly. Of course Jett is probably gonna win, but there’s no reason Deegan should won that moto. Someone needs to get in Jett and Deegan s way. Somethin, Gawd. Are these team managers even asking them to race?! “Oh just go out and have a good time!” B-ullsh-t!

I remember when my kids were young and something like weather interfered with something they wanted and they would have a meltdown. You’d try explaining that it’s nobody’s fault, that nobody was trying to ruin their fun, but it was futile - they were going to be mad anyway. I can’t quite put my finger on why but I’m getting that same feeling.

Bad take 

Is it? Have we never had broadcasts during a storm before? They had coverage during a hurricane in 2011. Now in 2025, and a 20mph wind gust shuts down a major broadcasting company. Not only that, they continue on like their stream didn't just shut down.

Lightning delay, no idea why broadcast isn't saying so, guess they don't want you to shut it off

🤦‍♂️ I assume he was very tired. And Deegan was flying.  DM Seth and give him some advice.

How is it that every week we have a “mudder?” thread leading up to the race, yet the one time there isn’t one there’s a huge rain storm rolling through? Grinning
